Thing #5: Twitter



I don’t really use Twitter too often but I do follow an eclectic group of people. Some of the people that I follow include political commentators like Anderson Cooper, Chuck Todd, Rachel Maddow, and Keith Olberman. I also follow the Huffington Post, MSNBC, and a ton of my friends and other random Tweeters like Pimp Bill Clinton and OMGFacts.

In terms of using Twitter, I can see it being used professionally in a lot of very useful means. For example, one of my good friends has started using social media (particularly Twitter and blogs) as a means to promote himself and his business endeavors. His blog is called 5280 Ethos (@5280ethos on Twitter) and he works as a freelance sports writer in Denver. He has told me about the professional uses of Twitter and uses it as his main means for getting his information out to the public. Therefore I know that it will be extremely useful and powerful in the business world. Overall, I think I will keep using Twitter more and more because it seems as if it is becoming a legitimate source of information and possibly income and this term is the perfect opportunity to refine my skills with social media.
